About this deal

The so-called "relegation battle", when Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea fans fought on the pitch before Spurs relegated Chelsea in the return fixture in 1975, made national news when shown on the BBC television programme John Craven's Newsround. Leeds United were banned from Europe soon after, when their fans rioted after the 1975 European Cup Final against Bayern Munich in Paris. [19] Manchester United were banned in 1977 after rioting before, during and after their Cup Winners Cup game with Saint-Étienne, also in France. [20] In March 1978, a full-scale riot broke out at The Den during an FA Cup quarter-final between Millwall and Ipswich Town. Fighting began on the terraces and spilled out on to the pitch and into the narrow streets around the ground. Dozens of people were injured. [21] Dilwyn Porter, Adrian Smith (2004).

The Popplewell Committee was originally set up to investigate two incidents at English grounds on 11 May 1985—the fire at Bradford City's Valley Parade (which was not hooliganism-related) in which 56 people died, and the riot at the Birmingham City versus Leeds United match. The Bradford fire overshadowed media and public attention to the tragedy in Birmingham on the same day. The ICF were the basis of Alan Clarke's 1988 film, The Firm. Gary Oldman plays Bex Bissell, the leader of the ICC - Inter City Crew. Members of the ICF were used as consultants on the film. [1] The 2005 film Green Street (and its sequels) are also based on the ICF, but instead the initials GSE ('Green Street Elite') were used. The ICF make an appearance in Irvine Welsh's novellas Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance.

I remember one time, this would have been 1986 and it was rangers were playing Motherwell at Ibrox and Motherwell used to have a relly good mob.

I enjoyed almost everything from being a casual. The clothes, the scraps, the anticipation before scraps, travelling to places in the Uk and across Europe. Being part of something bigger than yourself and in our own way defending the honour of our club and it’s traditions and core beliefs. I love being an unrepentant card-carrying Rangers supporting football lad, (retired now lol) who is proud of my Protestant and Scots/British heritage.
